My 'textures' in Nascra 2003 appear to be in a lower res?!? It happens
sometimes when I launch it. The dials and the textures are 'fuzzy'

I have the latest Nvidia drivers.. But have no ideas why!! I have a
Geforce 4600TI and am running XP SP2.

Any thoughts????

Cheers..

Scott

Have you tried rerunning 3d config?

Hmm, been a while since I ran N2003.

By chance are you running in Open GL? Seems like there is a refresh rate
issue where it defaults back to 60 mhz in 3d opengl applications with Win
XP.
Can you check your monitor's refresh rate while in the game?
You might also try running in d3d if your running opengl to see if it makes
a difference.

I know some have had better luck with *earlier* drivers, fwiw.

Cheers guys.

This happened to a buddy of mine, fuzzy dash and gauges. Turned out it was
a problem with the TextureSetSize variable in the rend_dxg.ini file. The
information below was copied directly from a post by Bill Anderson to this
newsgroup some time ago. It should solve your problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "TextureSetSize" variable in the file rend_dxg.ini in my
C:\Papyrus\NASCAR Racing 2003 Season directory was set too high for some
reason. The fix:

Look for this line:

TextureSetSize=43015201

Your actual number may be different, but here's the formula to calculate a
better number for your
machine/configuration.

((MB of video card ram) X (1048576)) - ((4 X Screen
Resolution Width) X (Screen Resolution Height) X BPP))

Note BPP = 2 for 16 bit color and 4 for 32 bit.

I.E. ((64 X 1048576)) - ((4 X 1600 X 1200 X 4)) 67108864 -
30720000 = 36388864
